Yes, the Seabees have been overmanned for quite a while now, but they are starting to love in the right direction as far as manning levels. As of now it looks like the best rates to try and get into would be Alfa types, CM and EO. This last cycle showed advancement opportunity was way better than usual as we were petty comparable to Navy wide averages. One thing to remember is that no matter how overmanned a rating is, they still bring in new people. There will always be a need for new recruits, though it is harder to get into with higher manning levels. The Seabee community is a great one, I wouldn't change what I do for anything. Good luck man and if you have anything else let me know.
